She's better off career-wise as a host or news person & that doesn't mean she doesn't add a lot to the morning Bee show. There was a time when news was news & the show was the show & with the exception of some conversation the radio newsperson was begrudgingly dragged into by the jock,the twain didn't meet. Now it isn't the person in question's fault but news credibility is hurt when it's done by a member of a morning team. I'll grant you she's filling in as a host on a different station that she's a member of the morning team on,but sooner or later I think she'll have to make a decision. If she has to go elsewhere to be able to make that decision herself then that may eventually have to be the case. I'm willing to bet her head is in news and/or talk.

Again, Howie is ok. Just ok. He can handle things alright. He never "wow's" me with what he has to say. I personally find Carrie more interesting and I'm just surprised they aren't using her more.

When it comes to news and anchoring she has always been top notch in my eyes, I never understood why she wasn't brought in as an anchor to WHJJ. She has the talent to do hosting and she is going to have to make a choice at some point. She seems passionate about things and unafraid of showing her personality. She's not perfect, but she's pretty damn good and it seems like they're missing something ...

As for her part on the Bee, I think it's actually quite interesting to have a "real" newsperson giving me a "real" newscast on that station, rather than someone just ripping off news and reading it. I feel like I'm getting actual news, not just a bunch of crap because everyone must do news in the morning. And she is actually funny and entertaining.

,,>>>> Howie , a calmer Charles, Howie talks about VietNam, that he was there. No, he was on an AirCraft Carrier. The pilots would return from bombing missions telling a very terrifed Howie a bunch of 'savage ' stories to scare the crap out of him. It worked. Now hes on the radio, from off the streets. He is from Buriville, and he should stay there. Another GreenHorn ,no nothing talk show host who WHJJ doesn`t pay.
